Deacon Lou was awesome. I will always remember his homilies. He combined a teaching message with humor and made them very easy to relate to. He always ended with “remember…pray, pray, pray”. May God watch over your family – you know he was welcomed home by Jesus with wide open arms.

My condolences go out to the Lucille and their family.. we are never ready to say goodbye to our loved ones and that may be because they always live on in our minds and in our hearts. My memories of the Fusco’s, Louie, Mary Lou and Birdie go back to my childhood days. Stopping before school to cross the highway together to Highland School, lunch together, our club meetings at their house as well as parties right into our teens. Louie was always fun to be around and and yet had a holy spirituality.. Their home was my second home and the wonderful memories of the Fusco and Follo families will continue to live on in my heart.
God Bless you all,
